- There's the P2501 from Emulex ( 1 Parallel )
- The EPS-1 from Lantronix ( 1 Parallel and 1 Serial )
- The Xconnect(?) from XCD ( 1 Parallel )
-
- All of the above do LAT and TCP/IP - some also do IPX and Appletalk.

- I don't believe any of the above have 2 parallel ports ( which the
- original poster asked about ), but they're cheap enough that buying
- two of them might be a viable solution. Some have 1 parallel and 1 serial,
- which can be used simultaneously, so this might be an adequate solution.
